Since first coming together in the English Midlands in 2006, Alunah have trafficked in a blend of the earthly and the unearthly. Over the course of their three albums – 2010’s Call of Avernus (Catacomb Records), 2012’s White Hoarhound (PsycheDOOMelic Records) and 2014’s Awakening The Forest (Napalm Records) – the four-piece have been a constant force of progression into an individualized take on psychedelic and organic heft. They released their fourth album Solennial in 2017 through Svart Records.

DECIBEL MAGAZINE (USA)"Is there a doom band that sounds dreamier than Alunah? That’s a big reason I love this English band: they play heavy music rooted in the tradition of Saint Vitus, but the focus isn’t so much on brute force but grace."

ROCK-A-ROLLA MAGAZINE (UK)"A sure-fire sign that Alunah have the potential to exist amongst the greats."

TERRORIZER MAGAZINE (UK)"Signing to a major label has obviously given the four-piece clarity and this is their most mature release to date."

ZERO TOLERANCE MAGAZINE (UK) (4.5/5)"Day's vocals lead the band's charge with a regal charisma, while the songwriting is refreshingly old-school, bereft of any occult, retro, or stoner elements which would otherwise bog this one down as 'just another new release in the pile'. Instead, Awakening the Forest is some of the better doom metal this writer has heard in a while"

METAL MOUTH (UK) (9/10)"With bands like Cathedral and Orange Goblin flying the flag for UK doom, the Birmingham 4 piece are mere footsteps behind, if not, on par with quality, they just lack the years of touring and building the name. You can rest assured that they’ll get there in the end though, especially with albums like this. Already a massive fan of Alunah, I was already aware of the brilliance that was White Hoarhound, and to say they smashed it this time around with this release is somewhat of an understatement."

ABOUT.COM (USA)"There's something bewitching about Alunah that stirs up an ache inside."

METAL.DE (GERMANY) 8/10"We can attest that the band centred around singer Sophie Day, have inherited genes of the forefathers in their blood"
